The Baltimore Ravens' hopes of starting the season with a victory were dashed on Sunday as they were upset by the Las Vegas Raiders 26-23. The Raiders' fourth-quarter comeback gave them their first win of the season, while the Ravens remain winless after two games.

The Baltimore Ravens' hopes of starting the season with a victory were dashed on Sunday as they were upset by the Las Vegas Raiders 26-23. The Raiders' fourth-quarter comeback gave them their first win of the season, while the Ravens remain winless after two games.

The Ravens, who finished with the NFL's best record last season, were heavy favorites against the Raiders, but they were unable to live up to expectations. The Ravens' offense struggled to move the ball consistently, and they were held without a touchdown in the second half.

The Ravens will look to get back on track next week when they host the New England Patriots. The Raiders will travel to Tennessee to face the Titans.

Here are some additional highlights from the game:

* The Ravens had 383 total yards of offense, but they went 3 of 11 on third down.

* The Raiders had 346 total yards of offense, and they went 7 of 13 on third down.

* The Ravens were penalized nine times for 84 yards.

* The Raiders were penalized four times for 35 yards.

The Ravens' loss is a major disappointment, but they still have plenty of time to turn things around. The Ravens have a talented team, and they should be able to compete for a playoff spot this season.
